ABOUT ANNE FEENEY: Anne Feeney (1951-2021) was a legendary musician, labor activist, and hell raiser based in Pittsburgh, PA. She passed away due to complications from COVID 19 in February. A tireless fighter for social, environmental, and economic justice, she spent decades on the road performing hundreds of dates a year in folk clubs, on picket lines, and at some of the largest protests of the last century.
